I don't know anything about how many kids were seat belted before the law came into effect in 1987 (25 years, my bad!). I do know that I stood in the back seat while we drove around town, lay across the back window or on the floor and climbed between the front and back seat like it was a jungle gym. I also don't know, or care, if there are any studies done that show seat belts are safer than any of those activities, I am just using common sense.

You are right.

We should do some educational stuff about how smoking and second hand smoke are bad for people and the problem will solve itself. Why hasn't anyone thought of that before now?

Oh wait ...
